Bobbie Brown - stylish Palettes for the Lips

According to Bobbi Brown, whose career began as a make up artist, she believes a new lip color is the easiest way to change one's look - from day to night or season to season. Bobbi Brown debuted her line of cosmetics with 10 brown-based lip colors to match a woman's natural lip color. The creamy, semi-matte lipstick offers a range of shade options to update your look for all seasons. The lip colors are formulated with vitamins to nourish and protect.

Lip color can be worn alone or paired with Lip Liner and Lip Gloss or Shimmer Lip Gloss - depending on the desired effect. Bobbi Brown recommends these helpful tips: follow the natural line of the mouth, and evenly cover upper and lower lip. For the most natural look, line and fill in lips with a shade that closes matches the Lip Color. Finish lips with Lip Gloss.

The exclusive and best-selling shades are in stylish palettes in a beautiful black case that includes a user friendly brush. Buyers can take their pick from a limited edition array of shades in sheer, glossy and creamy finishes. A mini lip brush promises a mess-free application.

Secrets to achieving luscious looking lips, according to Bobbi, are the delicious duos featuring lipstick and glosses that are ideal for layering. Each duo comes in a palm-sized, mirrored compact for easy portability. Glitter glosses are available in the set. This includes three new Glitter Lip Glosses in a clear zippered pouch that's perfect for travel. Each of these sheer, glitter-flecked shades can be worn over lipstick or alone to give lips a hint of shimmer with a non-sticky feel.

The tailor-made gloss is in a mirrored palette featuring seven exclusive high shine and shimmering shades that are only available in this palette. These feature a lightweight, non-sticky formula, and comes with a mini lip brush for mess-free application.

Bobbi's love affair with makeup was a passion for beauty and bloomed as she was a teenager, and that led her to Emerson College in Boston, where she earned a degree in theatrical makeup.

Bobbi's arrival in New York City beginning her career, and a chance meeting with a chemist at a magazine photo shoot, changed her perspective. Bobbi had the idea to develop a flattering lipstick and it became reality with the creation of nine other brown-based lipstick shades that followed soon after. The make up artist created a set of ten lipsticks allowing a woman to create an infinite number of wearable shades by mixing and blending them.

The Bobbi Brown line of lipsticks debuted in 1991 at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City where the uniquely flattering makeup and realistic approach to beauty was realized.
